Quote:

/usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is the first time i am installing debian on my machine .

Please help me solving the issue.

Thanks

/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so is part of the gtk2 package.
Did you install it and all the required dependencies ?
Why don't you use the Debian package manager ?

From a terminal do

Code:

sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-0

What should i do now , is it that i have to specify the path of the lib files somewhere ... ?

So nothing has been installed with the command.
I don't have Debian, but check if the package is already installed and if aptitude is configured correctly, ie with active repository addresses.
Run :
ldd /usr/local/firefox/firefox-bin
to see where firefox expects to find the missing libraries.
Read, look and think and you should be able to find a solution without too much difficulties.

Make sure you did

Code:

sudo aptitude update

I would say that libgtk2.0-0 is not installed correctly. Try this command

Code:

sudo aptitude reinstall libgtk2.0-0

and then try again. See if that fixes it.
You are also missing libxul.so so you'll need to (re)install the xulrunner-1.9 package. Use the same method (first with aptitude install and if that doesn't work aptitude reinstall. If these steps don't fix things then you've got a more fundamental problem.

I installed ia32-libs-libnss3 and ia32-libs-gtk and got firefox working ...
